I only listed five smoothies for five days of the week, you can remake the ones you like the most for the weekend. To boost your smoothies, you can add chia seeds or almond butter or flax seeds or cacao or cinnamon or acai powder. You can play with the ingredients of your smoothies however you like. But the most powerful ingredients to help clear your skin are spinach, lettuce, and kale! You can make this a challenge, and drink these smoothies every day for 30 days to see results.

Aside from eating clean and healthy and drinking these smoothies, you need to follow these 3 steps in your skincare routine.

Wash your face at least twice a day! I cannot stress this enough. Cleansing is very important! And you NEED to remove your makeup before you sleep, if you don’t, it’ll clog your pores and it’ll only result in more breakouts.

Exfoliation: Exfoliating your skin removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin. This opens the way for moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which makes them more effective.

Moisturizing: You need to moisturize your face properly. You should be using a moisturizer based on your skin type. Using an oil based moisturizer can be terrible for acne-prone skin.

Yes, sadly there is no miracle product. I realized that a long time ago. Since then I no longer spend money testing new products. I only use one facial cleanser followed by a moisturizer and I keep it moving. Once during the month I use a facial mask, however I don’t know how effective that is. If anything I think it’s more for pampering 😂. It’s really about your diet especially your daily intake of water. Great post!
